HarmonQuest is an American adult animation/live improvisation television show created by Dan Harmon. The show is part animated, part live action. Dan Harmon and comedians Erin McGathy, Jeff B. Davis, along with game master Spencer Crittenden, perform a fantasy roleplaying campaign in front of a live audience. Each episode of the show also features a special guest player. The content of their stories is then animated by Starburns Industries, and the episodes feature a mix of live and animated footage. On October 19, 2016, Seeso renewed HarmonQuest for a second season.
Development and production
Dan Harmon and Spencer Crittenden have been including a Dungeons & Dragons style game (Pathfinder) segment at the end of Harmontown episodes for a while with great success, when Harmon pitched the idea of Harmonquest, originally conceived as low-budget, online-only show. Evan Shapiro, NBC Universal executive vice-president of digital enterprises, took the idea seriously, and when Seeso was developed as an NBC-owned comedy channel, an order for ten episodes of Harmonquest was confirmed.
